I, the anti-superman, have hacked into the chat group.

For those with the Eye of God, when launching an attack, they can choose to attach elemental power to it, and if they are more skilled, they can discard the attachment and use pure elemental power to attack.

Just like what Gan Yu is doing now, using pure ice element instead of arrows can save the tedious step of loading arrows, and make the attack speed completely depend on your hand speed.

Gan Yu's hand speed has exceeded the limit. When she draws the bow, she sometimes injures herself because of the speed. She maintains this output entirely because of the self-healing power brought by the blood of the Qilin.

Xuanse had no way to dodge. At this moment, he only had one movement. A normal person would choose to protect their vitals, but Xuanse used both hands to protect his waist, as if that was the most important part.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!

The arrows arrived, and seeing Xuanse's self-healing ability, Gan Yu showed no mercy. The arrows pierced through his body, creating countless bloody holes.

The most severe blow struck Xuanse's eye socket, shattering his goggles. The arrow, made of ice, penetrated halfway into his eye, possibly even affecting his brain.

Seeing this, Gan Yu stopped her attack. If possible, she didn't want to cause any deaths, so she observed Xuan Se's situation.

Xuan Se staggered to his feet. Despite the severe head injury, he was still alive, but his movements became unsteady, like that of a drunkard.

Ignoring his injuries, including the ice arrow stuck in his eye socket, he used all his strength to pull a blue syringe from his intact waist.

"That's it!"

Gan Yu recognized the vial of medicine. The fact that it would be taken out at this time, and that it was still blue, suggested only one possibility: it was the source of the superpower, compound 5.

Compound 5 can grant superpowers, but it usually needs to be taken from infancy. Vought International is also researching an adult version, but the success rate is low and the side effects are significant, so it's best not to discuss it further at this time.

After becoming a superhuman, one's physical body will be altered, meaning that one will remain a superhuman for life after consuming the product.

So what would happen if someone who already has superpowers took Compound 5 again?

The side effects of this vary from person to person, but the main effect is always the same: it temporarily enhances the user's superpowers, like taking a stimulant.

Gan Yu tried to stop him, but they were too far apart. By the time the arrow shattered the syringe, the medicine inside had already been injected into Xuan Se's body.

Instantly, his body began to regenerate wildly, and the new flesh that grew directly pushed the arrows stuck in his body out of his body. His body returned to its original state, but his uniform was inevitably torn to shreds.

His true appearance startled Gan Yu, because he looked exactly like the man from the Homeland. Well, it's not quite exactly the same, since his skin was black, just like his code name, Xuanse. But their facial features were extremely similar.

Xuanse spread his arms and said loudly, "Is this the power that the Homelanders have been enjoying all along? It's wonderful. Unfortunately, as a copy, I can only temporarily possess this divine power with the help of Compound No. 5."

Homelander was Vought International's most successful experiment. He was exposed to Compound 5 from the time he was a fertilized egg. After countless adjustments by scientists and a bit of luck, Homelander was finally created, a weapon of mass destruction.

But the Vought International Corporation was not content with mere chance; they wanted to mass-produce Homelander, so they secretly conducted countless experiments, all of which ended in failure.

Black was the only one of the test subjects to survive, and he was also the closest to success. Although he was not as unrestricted as Homelander, with the help of Compound 5, he could possess the same power as Homelander for a short period of time.

Xuanse lowered his body and then suddenly flew towards Gan Yu.

Rationally speaking, his best course of action right now would be to use high-speed flight to leave the scene, but the stimulant-like effects of Compound 5 have fueled his fighting spirit, and he urgently needs to vent it through a battle.

"Touch is prohibited."

Gan Yu dodged in an instant, leaving behind an ice crystal flower that exploded the moment Xuan Se arrived, catching him off guard and splattering his face with ice sand.

"The attack couldn't hurt him at all. It seems he wasn't lying; he really does have the same abilities as Homelander. What should we do? Should we call Mr. Superman?"

Gan Yu pondered inwardly. Now, while the opponent was still unfamiliar with her abilities, she could stabilize the situation. If she unleashed her full immortal power, she might not be without the ability to fight back, but she lacked a decisive attack.

Despite wielding a bow and arrow, her true role is that of a tank. Her strength lies in her health, not her attack power. She is even confident that she can withstand several of Xuan Se's attacks without dying, but she simply cannot defeat him.

Calling Carl would have solved the problem directly, but Gan Yu didn't want to do that. She and the other group members took the initiative to take on the task because they didn't want to rely too much on Carl's power, lest they lose their sense of crisis. It would be pointless to ask for help at the slightest setback.

Just as Gan Yu was feeling troubled, two portals opened beside her, and her friends from the group who had defeated her enemies came to help her.

Chapter 104 Antidote for Superpowers

The group members faced off against Xuanse. At this moment, the violent aura emanating from him was almost suffocating, and his powerful physical attributes had reached the limit of carbon-based life forms.

Gan Yu, Bronya, and Kurumi Tokisaki all possess special abilities, which is their advantage; they have a more perfect grasp of their power.

Gan Yu and Bronya's fighting styles are systematic; they have received systematic training, while Tokisaki Kurumi has also spent decades exploring her abilities.

On the other hand, Xuanse's abilities all come from experiments, and he has never actually fought in a real battle. He has hardly ever experienced his current state.

In other words, although Xuanse's physical abilities far surpass those of the others, it is difficult to say who will ultimately win or lose.

……

Carl was floating in the air, idly reading comics in the chat group, when someone came and disturbed his peace.

"Lord Darkseid, please give me a chance." The newcomer was none other than Storm, one of the Super Seven.

She was terrified when Homelander was defeated and fled the scene in a panic, just like everyone else, out of the biological instinct to seek good fortune and avoid harm.

But after calming down, Storm realized she couldn't keep running like this. The other party was an alien who came here to conquer the world. As long as she was still bound by gravity, no matter where she ran, she would eventually be found.

Earthlings absolutely cannot win; Storm is certain of this. She believes in the principles of evolution and knows that aliens are definitely stronger than Earthlings.

So if she wants to survive, there's only one way: to gain the favor of the aliens.

Carl closed the comic book, glanced at her, but before he could speak, another person appeared.

"You actually want to surrender to aliens? You're absolutely insane!" Queen Maeve roared angrily.

While fleeing, she saw Storm turn back and assumed that Storm was going to fight the aliens. After a difficult internal struggle, she decided to help her, but she never expected to see such a scene.

"He wants humanity to be extinct. There is absolutely no room for reconciliation between us. What are you thinking?" Queen Maeve asked.

Storm first glanced at Karl, and seeing that he didn't respond, she turned to deal with Queen Maeve.

"So what if they go extinct? How many species have gone extinct on Earth over the past hundreds of millions of years? Why can't humans go extinct? Besides, there are so many inferior races among humans; they should have gone extinct long ago. Only the strong can survive in this world."

Queen Maeve never expected that the other party would be such an extreme racist. How outdated such ideas are! They are like remnants of the Nazis from the last century.

At this moment, Karl spoke up: "You're right, humans, such inferior life forms, should indeed be exterminated. Everyone will be transformed into Apocalyptic Demons, starting with you."

Storm was immediately alarmed. Although she looked down on people of all races except herself, she herself did not want to die.

"Wait a minute, Lord Darkseid, we are different from other races. We are far more advanced and have become Apocalyptic Demons. It's such a waste."

Seeing her like this, Queen Maeve immediately laughed. Since she knew she was no match for Karl, she directly mocked, "Weren't you just believing in the survival of the fittest? How come now that you're the weak one, you're unwilling to die gracefully? How hypocritical."

Karl had also met Storm in Earth-3, and after unexpectedly gaining some superpowers, he started to promote the theory that the strong are supreme.

In reality, they just wanted to find a suitable excuse to satisfy their dark inner desires. Because they are the strong, they can do whatever they want. They are superior and it is right for them to bully others.

People like this will reveal their true colors once they encounter someone stronger than themselves. Since they are above the strong, why should they resist the suppression of the stronger?

Karl looked down on these people. He hadn't even become arrogant after suddenly being transported to Krypton, so why should they?

Of course, it's also possible that he can't get carried away because he knows too much.

Karl suddenly appeared in front of Storm and Queen Maeve with super speed and punched them both. Their physical abilities were not as good as Homelander's, but they had strong self-healing abilities. Using heat vision would make it easy to lose control of the power and accidentally kill the opponent.

Soon, several spider monsters crawled over, wrapped the two of them up, and took them away, but Karl did not intend to let them go so easily.

Queen Maeve is one thing, she just turns a blind eye to evil, and it's not impossible to punish her and move on. But someone like Storm deserves to die.

"It wouldn't be appropriate to just kill them like this, but it's also a bit unsatisfying to just let it go. We need to think of another way to punish them."

"Forget it, I'm not going to slack off anymore. I should try to figure out how to develop the antidote for compound 5."

Kryptonians' superpowers include super brains, so Karl's research abilities are not weak, and developing an antidote for Compound 5 is not impossible for him.

However, since the world lacked the necessary research equipment, he had to rely on his brain to calculate almost all the data. Karl found this troublesome and felt it was unnecessary, so he delayed taking action.

But now he's changed his mind. These self-important guys are particularly annoying, and their mood-damaging effect has surpassed the boredom he feels while doing research. Not doing it would be even more unbearable.

Carl turned and flew toward the largest portal. He was about to leave the scene to find some Compound 5 to study, but he flew slowly because there was still one thing he needed to do.

Humans had been monitoring the situation here with satellites, and seeing that Karl intended to leave, they disregarded everything else and launched a nuclear missile directly.

Humanity now sees Karl as the key to breaking the deadlock, hoping that a nuclear bomb can injure him so that they can capture him and use him as leverage to negotiate with the aliens. However, this plan is based on the premise that Karl will stay put and not move. If he leaves, humanity will be helpless.

Three nuclear bombs flew toward New York City; these were the largest yields in the stockpile, and a single bomb could level the entire city.

But Karl remained completely unmoved. It was just a nuclear bomb, wasn't it? He knew it all too well.

He deliberately lingered in space for an extended period of time to lure humanity into launching nuclear missiles as a form of military deterrence. It is safe to say that even if those three nuclear missiles exploded, Karl would be unharmed.

However, Karl would not allow such a thing to happen. This was a city, not outer space. A nuclear explosion would kill countless people, and there would be the aftermath of nuclear radiation and nuclear winter, all of which would be long-lasting disasters.

Chapter 105 Gene Repair

Lead can protect against radiation, and nuclear factories always contain large amounts of lead. However, the outer casing of nuclear bombs is generally not made of lead, but of uranium. This means that Karl could see through the internal structure of a nuclear bomb.

Moreover, the detonation conditions for nuclear bombs are very demanding. If there is a problem with the internal devices, even if an explosion occurs, its power will be greatly reduced.

Just as the nuclear bomb reached the outskirts of New York City, Carl's eyes emitted heat vision that spanned fifty kilometers, directly and precisely burning through the outer shell to destroy the detonation device inside the nuclear bomb.

Nuclear bombs that haven't undergone special treatment are so easy to dismantle. People in this world don't understand its capabilities; otherwise, they would at least coat the surface with lead and add more detonation methods.

Then, Karl burned out the missile's thrusters, and the powerless nuclear warhead fell straight down into the newly opened portal.

Spider put them away, mainly because she thought they might come in handy someday. Even if she didn't need them, it didn't matter, since she already had a lot of useless junk, so one more thing wouldn't make a difference.

Because of her dislike of losing things, the amount of hoarding in her space has been increasing, some of which even existed during the monster era, including the temporary flying vehicle that Karl built back then.

This is also thanks to the fact that the space storage is so convenient. At first, it was like a refrigerator, where food would not spoil no matter how long it was stored. Now, this space is completely dominated by the spider.

She rules everything inside, and perhaps in time, this space used to store miscellaneous items and clones will become Spider's divine realm.

Meanwhile, Karl had already used a portal to leave the surveillance area.

As long as he is not around, humanity will no longer use weapons of mass destruction like nuclear bombs, because it is pointless. Right now, the aliens are just playing a game with them, using no high technology other than the teleportation portal.

Although the spider monsters that have been released are terrifying, their attack efficiency is actually not very high. At least they are not as fast as nuclear bombs, so it is not worthwhile to use them now. They will only consume more population resources in advance.

At this point, Carl changed his disguise and went to a hospital in New York City. He was there to find Compound 5.

The Vought Corporation has very strict control over this; even ordinary internal personnel have to steal a bottle if they want it. However, if you have prior intelligence, Compound 5 is not actually difficult to find; it can be found in several seemingly ordinary hospitals.

There are no naturally born superpowered people in this world. To gain superpowers, one must be exposed to Compound 5 from a young age, which means undergoing experiments.

However, even though their parents signed a confidentiality agreement, the matter was bound to be exposed. So, in order to better hide the truth, the Vought Corporation secretly sent Compound No. 5 to the hospital and randomly injected the drug into newborn babies in the delivery room to make them superpowered.

This is the truth behind the lucky ones that people aspire to be. Being chosen from so many babies is, in a sense, quite fortunate, though it's hard to say whether it's good luck or bad luck.

Carl removed an IV bag from a baby, effectively ending the baby's chances of becoming a superhuman. But it didn't matter, because superhumans would never receive preferential treatment in the world again.

Carl's next stop is the military laboratory, which was once used to study the 'Mother Box' he created. As one of the first areas attacked by the spider monsters, it is now deserted, making it convenient for Carl to use.

The process of creating the antidote was very mentally taxing. He was reverse engineering a new type of drug that he had never encountered before. To make matters worse, even the creator himself was not very clear about the drug's effects. He only managed to create it by luck.

Furthermore, in the decades following his death, countless scientists have been trying to improve the drug, but with little success. To this day, they have not been able to create a perfect adult version. Karl, however, wants to surpass the wisdom accumulated by these people over half a century in a short period of time and directly develop a product with the opposite effect.
